No more "Calibrate and Save" on Treadmill Activities?

1963418 8 months ago

Never had this issue until last week. I usually do 1-2 miles on the treadmill with my Fenix 7 sapphire solar and just now don't have the option to "Calibrate & Save" after each activity. Not sure if anyone can help with this issue or ran into it themselves as well.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry didnt add that but yes all my recorded distance on my actual watch is atleast 1.00 miles which is what confuses me even more because I knew that was the case to even being able to calibrate before…

Make sure you count 1 mile on the watch not on the treadmill.
Then you may calibrate. I confused that once.
I hope this is the problem.
Good luck.

Garmin surprises...
For the next days I'm unable to run on a treadmill to confirm if the same problem is happening to my watch. As soon as I can I'll do it and will report here.

Garmin tells the following about the calibration, in the article Using the Treadmill Activity Profile on My Garmin Watch | Garmin Customer Support

The watch must record a distance of at least 1 mile (for older models) or 1.5 miles (for newer models) to offer calibration. For example, if the treadmill shows that you traveled 1.5 miles, but the watch only shows 1.4 miles, you will not get the treadmill calibration option. To see which minimum distance is required for your watch, search your owner's manual for "Calibrating the Treadmill Distance".

And the manual for F7 indeed tells:

fēnix 7 Standard/Solar/Pro Series Owner's Manual - Calibrating the Treadmill Distance (garmin.com)

Start a treadmill activity (Starting an Activity).
Run on the treadmill until your watch records at least 2.4 km (1.5 mi.).

I think this is exactly what happened

Apparently you have to run three miles to see the calibrate and save option now, or reset the treadmill activity

It now requires a 3 mile run to activate the calibrate and save option on the treadmill run, or try resetting the treadmill activity

Thanks. I will try that tomorrow. Tried 2 miles today without luck.
